INTRUSIC COMPROMISE ASSESSMENT MITIGATES NETWORK INTRUDERS.

Networks Update • August 1, 2005 •

Intrusic, Inc., Waltahm, Mass., a provider of compromise detection solutions (CDS) that mitigate malicious intruders and unauthorized access on internal networks, has introduced the industry's first Compromise Assessment(TM) program. This intensive but unobtrusive process reveals the renegade actions of hackers and rogue employees who steal critical intellectual property or damage corporate assets.

Within moments of starting an assessment, customers have immediate validation of existing security practices and products. Weak points or gaps in network security are recognized and can be remedied instantly. Any company securing sensitive private data, including personal information such as credit cards and social security numbers, will have a new level of confidence that their internal networks are safe from the most sophisticated criminals. For companies in highly-regulated industries, Compromise Assessments provide an unmatched level of compliance transparency, assurance and measurability.

"Companies now have multiple, easy options to help proactively defend against these threats," said Jonathan Bingham, president and co-founder of Intrusic. "Compromise Assessments represent a shift in the methods available to protect internal networks. For businesses analyzing which security investments should receive highest priority, an assessment shows the extent of existing compromises and points out other security holes. This tool not only adds a layer of protection to the network, but also gives executives the ability to better understand their current level of security."

About Compromise Assessments

Complementing Intrusic's world-class CDS, Intrusic V2, Compromise Assessments are a way companies can protect themselves from risks that pose almost limitless damage. Compromise Assessments involve a full 30-day deployment of Intrusic V2, complete with a rigorous independent analysis of all potential compromise activity. A detailed report of all actionable compromises is provided for quick remediation.

Reports also provide a deep view into all network activity, including protocol-specific issues such as abusive and forward/reverse control protocols. Customers can see leakage of user credentials across protocols such as telnet. After a single Compromise Assessment, executives have a higher level of assurance that the most critical data, including intellectual property, credit card numbers and personal information, is safe and secure.
